[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter_White:
OK, I have a XTZ WiFi only (SGP311) which ran on stock with the latest official OTA (4.2.2 I think it was?)

Basically, the thing is completely unmodified with the exception of using permanent root through vroom utility. No custom recovery, nothing. (I am not sure if rooting via vroom also unloks the bootloader) Now yesterday, I restored some apps/data through Titaniumbackup and when rebooting the device after that things went sideways.

When turning on I just get up to the colormorphing ribbon animation which halts after a few seconds and then cycles the tablet into another reboot. I have searched up and down, figuring I'd just hardware reset the thing but there really is no physical reset buton, eh?

How do I get my Tablet reset back to factory? Isn't there some kind of Sony bootloader (like HBOOT on HTC) which one could use to reset it?

I seem to be able to get it into fastboot mode, at least I get a reply for the command "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" (which is 0.5). How could I wipe/factory reset from here? Or can I just flash a recovery, even if unsure if bootloader is locked/unlocked? Or would I rather flash a FTF from here? Whats my best course of action?

Any input greatly appreciated
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
dont worry, had bricked mines too, followed the following steps and got it back woking ........

1.get a stock firmware (As an FTF file), and get sonyericsson Flashtool.

2.Turn off the device (hold volume up, and power, for about ten seconds, until you see the LED flash three times). The device is now off. Hold down the "volume down" button, and plug in the USB connection to your computer. The LED should turn green, and the S1boot device should appear.

3.You can now flash the device back to Sony stock using the flashtool

4. pick the firmware you downloaded (FTF FILE)....... and flash it ..... ALL DONE !!! :D

please let us know if you fixed it .....
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter_White:
OK, thanks I will try that. I have looked into that but as of now I could not find a localized version. Mine is from Germany, and all I find is Japan and US versions, so is there no European / Euro/MiddleEast (EMEA) version at all? Can I just use the most recent Japanese one and it will have all languages available?

I will check out the flashtool now, maybe I can just issue a data/cache wipe and start fresh with the already existing firmware? That would be a good feature, skipping potential problems by using the wrong / incompatible FTF I guess.

Thanks so far.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
no problem at all ....

the best solution i would recommend you right now would be the following:-

1. download and install the official sony flash tool known as EMMA , link is :

http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/

2. after installing it, follow the instructions to flash the FTF file

(it will download and flash the GLOBAL UNBRANDED firmware, which will contain all various languages)

3.after installing it, your tablet will be running stock 4.2.2 ....... no wories at all

always keep in mind that it is really hard to brick a sony device, it is always recoverable !!! :D :D :D

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter_White:
Oh wow, you are great, thanks for the effort on your side. Unfortunately when I was fiddling with the tablet XDA took its server switch downtime and I missed the post until now.

However, fortunately I was not even forced to go the whole nine yards. After realizing that I would not quite get anywhere until I took the plunge and officially unlocked my bootloader. Once I had that done I was immediately able to issue a cache/data partition wipe command via fastboot command line. At that point I just had a brandnew out of the box state and restored my stuff from there without fiddling with FTF etc at all.

Thanks for your great help anyway. May I just bother you with one more question? Now that the glove dropped and the bootloader is open I might as well go for a decent recovery. However I am at a total loss when chosing one. There is CWM and TWRP, one is said to be buggy (no recovery throuch volume key power on) sometimes it says its for sgp321 and not the WiFI only, then someone claims the opposite.

Could you please point me to any of those recoverys, fully functional on a SGP311 and conveniently flashable via adb/fastboot? I am not familiar with flashtool and would hate to screw things up with a wrong click. The sdk command line tools I have more familiarity with... Also, its just about recovery for nandroid with me, no desire to run a custom ROM or CM 10/11 or something.

Thamks a lot and have a good one!

the log of flashtool shows me that the tablet can't reboot, because it still in "flashmode".

in the log you can see i tried again the new kernel with the hope that everything will go right - but without luck.

Bricked device

Hi, I am in a similar situation. I have an XTZ SGP311 which is completely stock apart from rooted with the vroot tool. I stupidly tried to change fonts with a font installer from the Play store, and when I rebooted the tablet it cycles between the Sony and Xperia screens. I am trying to unlock the bootloader to restore with EMMA. The EMMA tool recognises the tablet when I connect it in Fastboot mode. But when I try the fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version command I just get <waiting for device>

Can anyone give any advice on what I can try next to unbrick my XTZ?

Hold VOL+Power for 10 sec to switch it off. Then reflash with Flashtool 0.9.18.6 or restore with xperia-companion.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canhobix:
I tried this version of Flashtool and also the newer one, with no success.

I'm trying now a downgrade for 10.6.A.0.454 to see if works. Like it's a softbrick, I can get in the flashmode, turn off and even the Sony Companion does execute the repair update for the latest but when I turn on, it shows the Sony Xperia screen then black screen and hangs like that forever.

All of this with 100% battery full.

Now I'm willing to sacrifice a goat or a bigger animal to achieve success :P

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kcorj2244:
I'm on MI1, and I'm currently using an older version of Hyperdrive. How do I update to the new version, without losing my settings from the old version? Is it possible or should I just make a backup with titanium backup, and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
It is best to backup everything you can with titanium backup then wipe system/data/cache/dalvik cache and flash the updated rom.

This eliminates any possible problems that could come up with just flashing it on top or "dirty flashing".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a.demarco:
i am with klabit on this... i treat an update as i would a new rom. i always do a backup, then wipe everything 3x, then flash and let it sit 10 minutes before doing anything. i have never had an issue with a rom doing it this way, so i will continue using that method to avoid any problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Here's the setup: I load theverge.com (full desktop view) on Chrome, let it load completely, then hit home and open something else. Whenever I multitask back to Chrome, it reloads theverge.com (I'm using that site because it's very heavy) every single time. I tried this on both stock Chrome and Chrome Beta with the same results. I also have a Moto X. When I test the same thing, the page NEVER reloads. My Note 3 also doesn't have this issue.

It's not a RAM issue. There is almost a gig free when this happens. This is the same behavior that the HTC One X and other android phones with 1 GB of RAM used to experience.

My question to you is this: Has anyone else noticed this? Multitasking back to the browser and your page refreshes (even if it's the only tab you have open)? There's literally no excuse for this to happen on this phone.

Update: I also tested this with other web pages and they are doing the same thing. Each time I multitask away to another app, then come back to the browser, whatever page I left off on refreshes. It's acting like a low memory issue, but maybe it's just (too) aggressive memory management.

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] alpinista82:
Hello,

I am writing an application that uses the built-in pressure sensor. I experienced that after the screen has gone dark the pressure sensor stops delivering data. The onSensorChanged() method of the SensorEventListener never gets called when the screen is off. When the screen is switched on the sensor immediately starts providing samples again. I tried setting a wakelock, unregistering and re-registering the SensorEventListener triggered by a ScreenOff Action, running the service that hosts the listener in foreground - nothing works. I use the latest stable version of slim bean but I doubt that using stock rom would behave differently. Has anyone tried this before and maybe even found a workaround? Any hints that point me in the right direction appreciated. Same Code works as expected on a Nexus4.

Best Regards

Paul

I feel like an idiot, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm trying to put CM10.2 on my new nook hd+ as per this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2411321

I'm relatively comfortable on the command line and have - ages ago - installed CM on other devices. I'm on a Mac with adb installed.

I've got CWM working and the SD is now partitioned (1st partition is FAT, apprx 150MB which I assume is CWM, 2nd partition that's 500MB, 3rd partition is the rest of the card (15.2GB)

Question: How do I get the the CM 10.2 .zip (and gapps .zip) on to the SD card?

I assume I'm supposed to get the .zip files onto the 3rd (data) partition of the SD card.

The 2nd & 3rd partitions won't mount on a mac (ext2 filesystem? that wouldn't mount on a windows box either, would it?)

I'm pretty sure if I use 'adb push' I'll be putting the files on /sd partition of the INTERNAL memory... or can I control where it goes from ADB?

advice?

Bonus points if you can answer me this:

the thread above links to a gapps .zip but the link is broken. Are gapps .zips device-specific? can I use any signed gapps for 4.3? Anyone got a link?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do not put the CM and gapps zips on the SD. You put them on internal media storage. Then use the install zip from internal memory option in CWM.

And the gapps link was temporarily down but should work now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andjules:
Thanks leapinlar

Augh, I hate these noob questions, but I'm using adb push /example/file/on/my/computer.zip /sdcard (while CWM is loaded) and appears successful, but install zip from sdcard > choose .zip from internal sdcard shows nothing (shows standard file folders - Android | B&N Downloads | DCIM | My Files | Notifications | media... that's it)

Maybe I haven't rooted correctly?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Do not push it with ADB. Pushing to sdcard with adb puts it on the boot partition of the SD. Download the CM and gapps zip with stock to internal memory (/sdcard) or connect the USB while booted to stock and copy to internal memory using MTP and your file manager.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andjules:
Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Just like me to make it more difficult than it needed to be.

So... got it on the internal memory, chose the .zip and... installation aborted. :(

Ignore that error. It is because the rom is not set up yet. What about that installation aborted error message?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andjules:
No. Just "Installing Update..." then "Installation aborted." That's it. A little googling suggests my sd card isn't formatted right... wondering if it's an issue with imaging the SDcard from my mac? Re-imaged it, but no luck. Not sure what to try next.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Try redownloading the CM zip. And you did reboot first to make sure the partitions were set after reimaging?

AT&T roms will probably work better for you, but most of the T-Mobile ones should also work with little to no issues.
